Disney World 2013

We surprised all of our babies by taking them to Disney World over Thanksgiving Break.  Well, Mimi and Pop kind of surprised us all by taking us to Disney World.  I will not ever be able to totally let them know how much we loved and appreciated every thing.  The girls were so surprised.  Mimi and Pop rented a van and brought it to our house.  We told them that it was Pop's work van and we had to take it to him. They had no idea that anything was up.  They thought they were going skating and Mimi was going to go and race with them.  When we got to Mimi and Pop's house we gave them a present each.  It had a shirt in it that said "I am going to Disney World", it also had their name on the back of it.  They opened their gifts and Hayden really didn't believe us.  Keep in mind we may or may not trick her a lot!!!!  We finally convinced her that it was true and they were so excited to be going to Disney World instead of skating. 

It was a long ride but very well worth it.  They were all so good.  When we got there they just wanted to go swimming but it was cold outside and we still had to find dinner somewhere...and we were waiting on Kim and Pop to still get there.  They flew there instead of riding.  The girls were so excited when they arrived and they got to sleep with Aunt Kim.  She is definitely their role model, and I am so glad because she is such a great person and aunt. 

We went to Hollywood Studios first for breakfast with Jake, Oso, Jane and Handy Manny.  They were so excited the whole time.  Colton was in awe of Jake.  He loves Jake and the Neverland Pirates.  It was so much fun watching him  be so excited.  After breakfast we watched a Disney Junior show and all of them LOVED it.  You could just see the magic in their eyes!!!  

After that we went to the Animal Kingdom.  It was so interesting.  We rode the Safari ride and saw all kinds of animals....Giraffes, Monkeys, Elephants, Gazelles, Pink Flamingos, Lions, Crocodiles and Hippos.  It was amazing and very interesting.  The kids loved it. 

Then when we went to Epcot for dinner at a Japanese place, and since it took a while for our dinner we got to see the amazing fireworks on our way out.  It was the most amazing thing ever.  It was the world going around in circles and lots of big, bright fireworks around it.  Pictures did not do it justice.

After that it was time for some rest.  The next day was the Magic Kingdom, which was probably their favorite.  Oh, and Chipper appeared and left them Disney ornaments and brought  stockings and a tree!!!  They had so many surprises on this trip.  Mark, Kim, Myself and the kids all rode the tea cups and the Dumbo ride.  They all loved it, especially Colton.  Then Hayden wanted to ride a big roller coaster ride with Kim, so we told her she needed to try a small one first.  We rode the Goofy Roller Coaster.  Gracie rode with Kim and Hayden rode with me.  Hayden was absolutely terrified the whole time, she screamed and cried and I tried to comfort her the whole way through it.  I mean she was pale when we got off!  Gracie LOVED it and wanted to do it again.  You just don't ever know what they are going to think. 

After many more rides and meeting lots of characters it was time for the girls to go to their Princess Dinner and the boys to entertain themselves for awhile.  Dinner was fun but busy with the Princesses but we got all their autographs and pictures.  Then we went back to the Magic Kingdom to watch the fireworks there.  It was PRICELESS.  That is truly the only word to describe it. 

It was such a Magical couple of days.  Thank you so much Mimi and Pop for every thing.  Thank you Aunt Kim for sharing your bed and riding lots of rides with our babies.  We love you all very much.
